Ruth Glick: Fabulous Lo-Carb CuisineI really like this cookbook. I love the recipe for a low-carb crust. She uses the spice thyme quite a lot, but I just substitute that for Old Bay Seasoning or something else.

Walden Farms No Carbs Grape Fruit Spread

It is with a heavy heart that I write this review. I purchased this fruit spread at my local Stop & Shop for $2.99 a jar a few months back. (I don't think they have it now.)

I was excited.

No carbs, sugar free, calorie free.

Verdict? It was inedible in my opinion. And I wasn't alone. My son refused to eat his peanut butter and jelly when I made it with this product. The consistency was.... not like jelly and not like vaseline, more like fat globules that roll around.

One version of Pollaner All Fruit is sweetened with Splenda, and it is on my Everyday Low Carb Shopping List. It is available at some grocery chains like Stop & Shop. I don't eat the Smucker's because it is sweetened with aspartame.

Comments

You should try the strawberry or the raspberry flavor of Walden Farms. They are the only ones that I like. The apple butter flavor sells pretty well in my store also. Steels Jams are my personal favorite though. They've got two different kinds with two different sweeteners. One with Splenda and one with Lo Han.
